Week 2 Update

(5 Black Boys, 1 Black Girl, 3 Red Girls) - Puppy enquiry form

G'day everyone. Another great week, especially because it was Christmas, and also hubby is home. He's been really enjoying the time with the kids, and also becoming a bit more involved with the pups.

All of them pretty much opened their eyes the day before Christmas which was such a lovely surprise. And a few have taken their first steps. Funny watching them walk.

"How much longer do I have to do this"

Jazz is doing well, starting to put her weight back on, and leaving the pups for a break to be with us. She needs a lot of loving. She is being a great mum and cleaning up after the pups well (saves me from doing it). Although she missed one the other day - Poor white collar guy got dumped on by one of his litter mates.

We sort of had a naming ceremony the day after Christmas. Probably too early to do that, but it was fun and a good way to get rid of the left overs, and copious amounts of alcohol - we had about 5 people here - and voted. I have listed them below, along with comments on how they are doing and some updated photos:

Brotherly Love


Photo Name Why Notes
  Doberoo Memory to Jack He was my first boy out, and I miss my old boy He loves to be handled, doesn't cry, and is pretty easy going. He has put on good weight, and started walking around.
Doberoo What a Scortcher Wanted to name all the reds after nice sunny things She's a bit bossy, not as bad as some, but will generally kick all the others out of the way. Walking / stumbling around. Weight is steady
Doberoo Lucky Country Actually thought I might lose him - so lucky guy This was my lightest one, and he wasn't putting on weight like the rest, but with a little bit of TLC, and supplements, he's back on track with his sibling. He is still the lightest, but only by 1 oz. He's better at walking than the others though.
  Doberoo Sunburnt Country Red Dog, Red Name She is the most dominant, fattest and noisiest of the lot. When mum is not there, she lets you know about it. She even barked yesterday.
Doberoo No Worries This little boy is cruisey, doesn't care about anything, No Worries Mate I love this little guy. He never complains, is polite, clean, and loves his brothers. He does have a habit of sucking on everything though, and when nothing is in his mouth, he sucks on thin air.
  Doberoo Down Under We can always find him at Jazzys rear end He just likes hanging around Down Under. Another cruisey puppy, quiet, clean - just the way I like them.
  Doberoo Our Little Vegemite We have to name one after Australias best export He has the same temperament as the above two. He cuddles up to mum a lot, and doesn't like being alone. We also had to supplement him as well, but he's back up there with his siblings in weight.
  Doberoo Bundy Rum The same colour as Australias other famous export. She's my quietest girl, and unlike the other reds, she is polite. She likes being handled, and snuggles into me when i give her a cuddle. Her weight is one of the highest, although shes not a pig like Sunburnt Country
Doberoo Waltzing Matilda It should have been Australias National Anthem. At least we know the words to it She turned into a fat little glutton. As heavy as Sunburnt Country, but has manners. This ones going to be a lady. She already crosses her legs - just like her mum.


We will be weaning next week - so stay tuned....
